I will consider spending my MM PB funds on this mega bucks doubler game. $5 for Wednesday and 5 for Saturday draw can help the mission.

Good luck to you too. I've won nothing since Tuesday when I matched the mega ball on MM to win $1

Still haven't won even a dollar on Mega Doubler.

Current Jackpot: $4,400,000 ($3,540,000 Est. Cash Option)

Good luck to all playing it

My something new is NY Lotto. It is creeping upwards. It's up to $33 big ones for Wednesday. Meanwhile Megabucks Doubler just got to $4M.

Didn't even match one number! Dang that drawing is late. Nice to have something to check on Thursday mornings though.

I assume your past set was self picks TSC. I'm thinking about getting another ticket with some of my regular numbers.

Unfortunately, I didn't do very well but I don't mind trying again.

Good luck, HoLeeKau! Mine expired last month and I'm thinking about buying a couple more.

Got it today!

I got a quick pick of spread out numbers. An aught, a teen, two 30's and two 40's.

They automatically send me a check if I win between $100 and $200. Second place prizes of $2500 and $5000 require a claim form with social security number. The $2 and $4 prizes accumulate and they send a check when the balance is $10 or higher. If less than $10 they send a check when the season ticket expires. Happy to know the smaller prizes won't go unclaimed just because it's not worth trave... [ More ]

Haven't gotten my ticket yet. Gettin' antsy to see what my numbers for the next year are.

It is good to travel and buy your ticket's in another part of the city, or a different city or town, altogether.

Maybe, you'll win the prize that you want

The best I ever did, 5 of 6 in a pick 6, was when I lived in Vegas and played in California. (Actually California, not Primm).

Odds on this one for top prize are about 1:14 mil which isn't bad compared to the big multi-state games.

Also I just figured out the Doubler for season tickets. You pay just the $1 and each draw they choose a number 0 - 9. If you have a winner and the last number of your ST control number (the number stays the same for the duration of your ticket which is you... [ More ]

I haven't heard of any other states that sell long distance. Hope you can take a road trip or something to do it. It's kind of exciting to mix things up.

From the Massachusetts Lottery FAQ page:

Can non-residents play the game? If so, how do they collect?

Yes, anyone 18 and over can purchase any Lottery product at any agent location. All players can collect their prizes at the same locations referenced in the How do customers collect their winnings FAQ. Season Tickets can be purchased directly from any sales agent while in the state, or from out of state by calling l-800-222-TKTS. The ticket can be registered in the owner's name by co... [ More ]

Maybe for something new, I will try to somehow get some tickets from out of state. Thinking someplace in the mid-west. That would definitely be a long ride from NYS.

But for now just trying to decide which new scratchoffs to try.

HoLeeKau Good luck. It's a fun little game and must be intriguing to know you can smash the jackpot all the way from the other side of the country. That plane ride would be the longest ride ever

The Mass. Mega bucks Doubler is the only game they do this for.

myturn has mentioned it several times.

HoLeeKau — Fri, 17 Jul 2015 19:55:12 GMT

I'm not familiar with the butler services, but Mass charges a little less for their subs. The rub is, the minimum purchase is 3 months playing a set of numbers. They charged me an extra $4, I assume to pay for UPS to deliver my slip, but it was still cheaper than buying those same numbers in person. It also takes a while to become effective - she said my first draw would be Aug 4.

I had to phone (toll free number) as I couldn't find a place on their website to sub online and the hold time was... [ More ]

I thought you had to have a resident in Massachusetts to buy a subscription to any of its games. If this gets out, players may be buying subscriptions to some of its other games like PB and MM which could hurt the butler services which charge an extra dollar or two per line for the same service.

Forgot to mention, the reason I thought of this is due to the plethora of Utahns and Nevadans winning top prizes from the Idaho lottery lately. Maybe playing in foreign states increases luck.

Trying Something New

HoLeeKau — Fri, 17 Jul 2015 18:38:03 GMT

Obviously what I've been doing has not worked for me as I'm still poor. So today I decided to try something new. Hoping another state might be more lucky for me, I called and got a subscription to Mass Megabucks Doubler. Jackpot at 2.6 mil cash right now. Happy Birthday to me! (No it's not my birthday but decided to get myself a gift a few months early.)

I assumed I would not be able to choose my own numbers, so was unprepared when she asked me. So I ended up with a quick pick. If I renew, I... [ More ]
